Wow! What a race!!
And what a surprising result!!!
Yes, No.9 Orfevre was the favorite and did win,
but the 2nd and 3rd placed horses No.5 Eishin Flash and No.7 To The Glory were big surprises!!!
But it was an amazing race to watch a long 2,500 meters taking 2minutes 36secconds to run,
it truely was a thrilling way to spend Christmas Day!
And I think the 100,000 people who were at Nakayama Racecourse would agree with me.
